RELEASED TESTS
In August 2018, TEA will release the primary form of all 2018 STAAR assessments. All released tests will be posted on TEA’s Student Assessment Division website.
INTERIM ASSESSMENTS
Beginning in spring 2018, TEA will provide districts with interim assessments for grades 3–8 math and reading. These interim assessments are an additional tool schools can use to gauge student progress toward meeting STAAR achievement standards. The assessments will be online adaptive tests used by teachers at various times throughout the school year. The interim assessments will be available to all Texas public and charter schools to use at their discretion. Additional information may be found at http://tea.texas.gov/student.assessment/IFA/.
